When to plant russian sage

Russian sage is a clump-forming perennial best set out in spring, the standard window for cold-hardy perennials. NC State notes the plant flowers best and is less likely to flop when grown in full sun, and to cut stems back to several inches above the ground in early spring.

Russian Sage is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
